⁸ The Lord said, “On the Lord’s day of sacrifice, I will punish the king’s sons and other leaders. I will punish all the people wearing clothes from other countries. ⁹ At that time I will punish all the people who jump over the threshold^[a] and those who fill their master’s house^[b] with lies and violence.”
